After walking out of the nunnery, Qingyi couldn't wait to say: "Senior sister, where is the Nether Demon Realm that my uncle mentioned? We must find the resurrecting fruit as soon as possible, otherwise Brother Cheng will not be able to hold on!"
Qingya looked at the stone statue silently, her gaze was like eternity...
After a long time, she said: "Junior sister, do you know where the Netherworld Demon Realm is?"
Qingya said: "I don't know, senior sister, do you know?"
"The Netherworld Demon Realm is a dark space between the Fairyland Continent and the Netherworld Realm. It is always shrouded in darkness and humans rarely touch it. Moreover, there are still many demon clans from ancient times living in it. For hundreds of millions of years, it is conceivable that How powerful they must be."
"This is just one of them. The most important thing is that it is not that simple for us to enter the Nether Demon Realm."
"The Netherworld is a separate interface. According to the sect's classics, it has passages connected to many interfaces. The Netherworld is one of the passages that connects the Immortal World and the Netherworld. It's just that the entrance to this passage exists in Shattered World. In the Palace of Rebirth in Ye Foguo."
Qingyi was startled and asked: "Palace of Purity, is that a palace?"
Qingya explained: "No, although its name is called the Palace of Rebirth, it is actually a continent. And to go to the Palace of Rebirth, you must pass through the entire Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom."
"You also know that people in the Buddhist Kingdom worship evil Buddhas. Although they are called Buddhism with our Fanhua Temple, the two concepts are completely different. The Buddhist Kingdom is not as simple as Fanhua Temple, but is divided into several levels. Each level They are not easy to deal with."
Qingyi's delicate little face showed a trace of determination and said: "Even if I have to travel through the entire Buddhist Kingdom, I will find a way to get the Resurrection Fruit and help Brother Cheng recover."
Qingya sighed secretly in her heart and said: "Junior sister, there are only four disciples of our people under the master. In terms of talent and understanding, you are the highest among the four. Therefore, I have always believed that you are the best person to inherit the master's mantle."
"The master has passed away, and the four of us always have to bear something for the sect. Therefore, I will go to the Nether Demon Realm alone. You can stay in the nunnery and practice well!"
"No, senior sister! This is just an excuse from the master and the uncle. The younger sister's understanding is not that high. Moreover, I am dull-minded and not good at dealing with the world. So, senior sister, you should stay in the nunnery and let me go!"
"Junior sister, if the master is not here, I am the highest among my peers. You must obey!"
"Senior sister has the final say on all other matters, but this is not the case. Brother Cheng has saved me from danger several times. With such a cause and effect, don't I need to bear the responsibility myself?"
The two sisters argued with each other, but in the end no one could defeat the other. Qingya had no choice but to say: "That's it, let's go together! As for the second junior sister and the third junior sister, let them practice in the nunnery."
"good!"
Having made up her mind, Qingya planned how to go to the Nether Demon Realm.
The Immortal Continent is so vast. The area where Buddhism is located was forced to snatch half of it from Taoism. The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism were separated by the bloody wasteland. They have been competing with each other for hundreds of millions of years. The area has changed hands several times, but the general outline is still the same.
As for the area occupied by the Buddhist sect, Suiye Buddhist Kingdom occupies almost 70%, and the remaining 30% is occupied by the three major sects of Fanhua Temple, Bodhi Temple, and Zending Mountain, as well as other large and small forces.
At first, some people may be confused! Let’s not talk about the other large and small forces. The three major sects, Fanhua Temple, Bodhi Temple, and Zending Mountain, and Suiye
The Buddhist kingdom is so different in strength, why is it willing to occupy such a small area?
You must know that in the monastic world, the size of the region has a great impact on resources. With a vast land and abundant resources, the types and quality of resources naturally increase.
However, these three major sects did not seem to care at all, allowing the Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom to occupy 70% of the territory. Later, everyone gradually discovered that the other three major sects are very mysterious. Although they may not have more resources than the Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom, and the number of practitioners is also very small, no matter which sect picks out a disciple, they are not from the Buddhist Kingdom. Under the strong.
Therefore, some people later speculated that the land occupied by these three major sects must not be simple, and perhaps there is also a small heaven domain.
Of course, outsiders have no way of knowing the reason, but Qingya knows that those people's speculations are not wrong, or that the speculations about Fanhua Temple are not wrong. The mountain gate of Fanhua Temple is far beyond this mountain range.
Therefore, the distance between Fanhua Temple and Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom is also extremely far. If you just use the flying fairy weapon, the time required is not a small amount.
Moreover, the uncle had also said before that before getting the Resurrection Fruit, he had to force out the essence of energy and spirit to smear Cheng Ling's stone statue body every day, which consumed so much vitality, even if she and Qingyi took turns. I don’t know how long it can last.
Another point is that as time goes by, he is more afraid that Cheng Ling's physical body will not be able to bear it!
Therefore, you must go to Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom quickly!
Fortunately, although the four major sects of Buddhism have different concepts, communication between them still exists. The four major sects have mutual teleportation arrays! Using the teleportation array, you can go directly outside the city of Broken Leaf Buddha Country.
Following a violent dizziness, the two women stepped onto a ground paved with white jade. Ahead is an endless city wall. On the wall are carved many portraits of Buddhist masters, with thick ink and heavy colors, and the light of Buddha is looming.
If you hadn't seen the civilians working non-stop on the edge of the city wall, you might have thought you were visiting some Buddhist holy land.
Qingya and Qingyi looked at the civilians and frowned slightly, but did not say anything, but went directly to the city gate.
The two women were not carrying a stretcher. Cheng Ling's body was petrified. The stone statue's attire was so eye-catching that someone would know it was from a Taoist sect at a glance. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Qingya specially found a coffin made of coral wood in the nunnery, placed Cheng Ling in it, and stored it in a storage ring.
Coral wood is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, and the wooden coffin is made of ten thousand-year-old coral. It exudes bursts of fragrance and has the effect of condensing the soul.
The two women came to the city gate. Qingyi looked at the golden gate with several layers of silver light inlaid around it and couldn't help but whispered: "Senior sister, the people of Broken Leaf Buddha Country are too luxurious. Even the gate is made of gold and silver. , look at those civilians, working hard, but they still have withered faces and no clothes on their bodies."
"Didn't the Buddha teach us that all living beings are equal? Why is the gap so huge?"
Qingya's voice transmission said: "Junior sister, be careful what you say, this is not Fanhua Temple, but Broken Leaf Buddha Country! The two have different understandings of Buddhism, so there are naturally differences."
"Strictly speaking, Broken Leaf Buddha Country is not a sect, but a country. This country respects the caste system and divides its people into five levels."
"The fifth class, which is the lowest level, is the untouchables. Just like the civilians you saw before, they need to work constantly. The only motivation for survival is to get enough food and clothing. This
The caste has the largest number of people and the hardest work! "
"But you must not sympathize with them easily, because they only have hatred and disgust in their hearts, and will not think about anything else. Maybe you have just helped him at this moment, and the next second he will kill you for some trivial food. meaning!"
Qingyi's heart trembled slightly, as if she didn't believe it and said, "How could this happen?"
Qingya sighed and explained: "Because the caste system is eternal and cannot be changed at all, they will be untouchables for life."
"What about other levels?"
"The fourth class is called Sudra. Their situation is slightly better than that of the untouchables, but it is also very hard. They engage in farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting, and other occupations that were considered lowly at the time. But once someone loses their means of production, they will be reduced to hired labor, even reduced to slaves and untouchables.”
"The third class is called Vaishyas, who are mainly engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry and commerce. Some of them also become rich and become loan sharks. Vaishyas are commoners and have no political privileges. They must provide for themselves in the form of donations (donations) and taxes. Brahmins and Kshatriyas who are not engaged in productive labor at all.”
"The second class is called Kshatriya. Their basic occupation is to serve as warriors or practitioners. These people hold the military and political power of the Buddhist kingdom. Among the eight tribes, Yaksha, Gandharva, Asura, and Ka Lou Luo, Kinnara and Maharaja are all representatives."
"The highest level is the Brahmins, who are mainly in charge of religious sacrifices and serve as priests at different levels. Some of them also participate in politics and enjoy great political power. Among the eight tribes, the Dragon Tribe and the Heaven Tribe belong to the Brahmins."
"The Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom looks like a flourishing flower, with hundreds of millions of people, and strict hierarchies at all levels. Everyone's social status is determined by their family origin, and they have been engaged in prescribed occupations for generations and cannot be changed at will."
"In principle, intermarriage is prohibited between all levels. In actual life, it is allowed for high-level men to marry low-level women as concubines, but it is strictly prohibited for low-level men to marry high-level women."
"Furthermore, in the Buddhist Kingdom, people of different levels are not equal in law. If a person of a higher level harms a person of a lower level, the punishment will be very light; in the opposite case, the punishment will be very serious, and the person of a lower level will have to Always make offerings to Brahmins and Kshatriyas.”
"In the philosophy of the Buddhist Kingdom, in order to maintain this advantage, Brahmins use their theory of karma and reincarnation to defend this caste system. It describes people from high-level castes as those who did good deeds in their previous lives. People from lower castes are said to be evildoers in previous lives."
"This provides a theoretical explanation for both the privileges of the upper castes and the suffering of the lower castes. Of course, this can only be a deceptive explanation."
"So Junior Sister, the two have different philosophies, and the relationship between the Buddhist Kingdom and Fanhua Temple, Bodhi Temple, and Zending Mountain is not harmonious. Facing the Taoist sect, we can be consistent in dealing with the outside world. Without external threats, their perception of us is also extremely Damn, I’m trying every possible means to make the three major sects my own.”
Qingyi was frightened after hearing this. Originally, her concept was very simple. We were all Buddhist monks, and they just wanted to enter the passage of the Netherworld and Demon Realm. It should be enough for the master to say hello. Now I understand why the uncle spoke in such a heavy tone and the senior sister looked worried.
She has been practicing in Fanhua Temple since she was a child and has always been under the wing of her master. She never thought that a Buddhist country would have such a strict caste system. This was almost completely contrary to the ideas she accepted.
